Product Details

The NTK Throttle Position Sensor TH0262 is engineered for vehicles that depend on precise throttle signal reporting to the engine control system. It is a direct-fit style sensor for a wide range of Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury models, including the Ford F-150, Ford Explorer, Ford Mustang, Lincoln Navigator, and Mercury Mountaineer. This part cross-references Standard Ignition TH381 and TH440 for the same application.

NTK develops technical sensors using OE application knowledge and validation methods that help ensure consistent signal output and dependable fitment. If you are replacing a worn throttle position sensor on a Ford Taurus, Lincoln Town Car, or Ford Expedition, TH0262 is built for the same type of service demand found in everyday import and domestic vehicle use.

What This Sensor Helps Address

• Erratic throttle response during acceleration
• Throttle signal faults that trigger drivability concerns
• Rough idle related to incorrect throttle angle reporting
• Hesitation or surging tied to sensor wear
• Check engine light conditions associated with throttle position input

Installation Notes

Install the sensor on the throttle body and verify the connector locks securely into place. Confirm the throttle linkage or throttle body movement is smooth before finalizing installation. After replacement, clear diagnostic trouble codes and verify throttle signal operation with a scan tool when available. Always match the part to the vehicle’s exact year, make, and model before installation.

Quality Assurance

NTK manufactures this sensor to meet or exceed OE specifications and validates sensor performance through thermal shock, vibration, and OBD testing. Backed by NTK’s OE sensor expertise, TH0262 is built for consistent technical sensor performance across supported Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury applications.
